Abstract:
Italian medical imaging education includes two parts: training for radiologists and for radiologic technologists. To be a radiologist, the six-year medical students after graduation must complete specialty training in radiology and pass the examination. Radiologic technologists are selected from the three-year bachelor graduates of medical imaging technology. There are basic medical science courses, cultural practice and clinical practice in medical college every year. Continuing medical imag-ing education includes lectures, case discussions and other forms. Radiologists are required to master all kinds of imaging techniques, working as clinical rotation in every section of medical imaging depart-ment. Patients need to make an appointment before having the medical imaging examination. Through the analysis of the characteristics of Italian medical imaging teaching and clinical patterns, the author puts forward the suggestion of putting emphasis on medical imaging curriculum reform, the full imple-mentation of the early clinical contact, and at the same time improving the professional medical image training mode to improve the radiologists' clinical ability.
